State Highway Department Promotes Two Veterans
The Vermont Highway Department elevates Leslie W. Pierce of Montpelier to state highway garage superintendent and J. J. Stanko to office manager, combining procurement duties. Both veterans and Norwich University alumni, they rose from stock clerks in the state garage, reflecting the department’s long-term career opportunities for capable staff. Pierce’s promotions trace to 1955, with prior service in the U.S. Army Transportation Office. Stanko served as a U.S. Air Force staff sergeant, participating in D-Day and parachute operations in Africa and Italy. The commissioner praised their reliability and leadership.
